Established in 1942, Hyderabad Allwyn Ltd. was a state govt. metal work company involved primarily in the manufacturing of automobiles, refrigerators and watches amongst other things. In 1981 the company entered into the watch business in collaboration with Seiko. The company was doing well up until the early 90s. However, after incurring heavy losses and many amalgamations, privatisation and divestments later, the enterprise shut down in the late 90s.
